The part of a gating system that regulates the rate of pouring of molten metal is

1. pouring basin
2. runner
3. choke
4. ingate

Correct answer: choke

Solution

The choke is the smallest cross-sectional area in the gating system and therefore controls the flow rate of molten metal. The pouring basin, runner, and ingate serve other flow-distribution roles.
